"So you simply decided to catch my straying soul and offer me transmigration along with three wishes to boot?" an unknown soul said aloud, seeking confirmation for what the being before it had explained.
Nodding its head, it replied in a monotone voice, "Indeed. Now, let's skip the unnecessary stuff and get down to it. Where, who, and your three wishes?"
The being before the soul asked. Of course, such a being could simply pry into the soul's consciousness and see what it wanted, or even see its future, or use many other methods to know.
Yet it refrained from doing so simply to amuse itself. It had not planned to meet this soul; it was simply a stroke of luck for the unknown soul that had been killed by a truck and floated into space, out of the world it originated from. Thus, it chose this soul on a whim.
"Mhm, I want to be in the world of Cultivation Online and transmigrate into the body of Yuan at the very beginning of the story. I'm not sure how that will be possible, but I'll leave that to you. As for my wishes, my first wish is to have a custom physique and bloodline, my second wish is to have a custom cultivation technique, and my third wish is to have the Library of Heaven's Path," the soul finished in one go. Being dead, it didn't need to breathe and thus could speak indefinitely without pausing for breath.
The being nodded at its words before speaking, "Granted. Now, state the details of the physique, bloodline, and cultivation technique."
The soul paused for a second to think, then answered in a clear and concise manner.
"Immortal Chaotic Void Bloodline:
- Absorbs the blood of anyone whose blood touches the bloodline user, converting it into Qi and strengthening the body.
- Gives the user an oppressive aura that can be turned on and off. This aura can freeze those one minor realm below the user and kill those lower instantly. It makes those one minor realm higher sluggish and weak, while those a major realm higher feel fear. Beyond that, it has no effect.
- Grants top-notch affinity with all elements and Dao.
- Doubles the user's comprehension.
- One in existence.
Heavenly Divine Immortal Physique:
- Immortality: if the soul is destroyed or erased, it will immediately be restored to its peak. If the body is destroyed, it will regenerate to its peak without losing anything.
- Provides the ability to hide from those peering into the mind, reading fate, knowing origins, etc.
- Infinite lifespan.
- One in existence.
Order and Chaos Scripture:
1st Stage: Order & Chaos
- 10,000 Qi/s absorption. (Every new level = 10x Qi absorption)
- Changes the user's appearance as they grow in power, making them more handsome and purifying their body and soul. Grants a passive immortal aura that gets more refined and stronger as the user gets stronger.
- Heals any internal and external damage at a quick rate, even being able to heal damaged or broken Meridians.
2nd Stage: Timeless Sword
- Creates a spectral sword that can cut through time itself, negating any defensive items or techniques.
3rd Stage: Heavenly Reflection
- Reflects any attacks thrown at the user with ten times their power, making them impossible to dodge or defend against. (Passive)
And that will be all."
The soul finished, looking intently at the being in front of it. He wondered if the being would grant the creation of such things but only smiled coldly in the end.
It doesn't matter if he grants the requests. Being reborn in the body of Yuan is more than enough. Just with his talent and body, I could achieve true immortality without the need for the physique I requested.
The being simply gave a thin smile before nodding its head, amused at the prospect of the entertainment the soul would bring him.
"Alright, off you go!"
Instantly, the teen was sent off through an infinite number of realities, landing within the body of Yu Tian. The soul instantly combined and became one with the soul of Yu Tian, reaching an equilibrium.
...
"Brother, I got the game you wanted!" a teenage girl, Yu Rou, said cheerfully as she held a large sci-fi looking helmet in her grasp.
The young man's eyes were closed, his soul having instantly adapted to its changes and understanding the situation. The memories of Yu Tian were all available to him, except for those of his past incarnations, which were mostly blocked by numerous curses on his soul.
He didn't feel sad or angry about not having received the memories of his previous lives. He had planned for such events. Gaining millions or even billions of years' worth of memories would surely change him; he would then forget who he was.
Otherwise, I would have included in either my bloodline or physique the ability to rid oneself of curses, no matter how powerful they are.
"Here, let me help you put it on..." Yu Rou muttered as she climbed onto the large bed, lifted the young man's head, and put on the helmet, making sure he was lying back comfortably.
Only after this was done did the young man finally speak in a hoarse and tired voice, "Yu Rou... thank you."
In a certain sense, Yu Tian and the foreign soul were now one. They shared everything, and as such, the new Yu Tian already had a certain amount of feelings for his always-helpful "sister."
The girl simply smiled, caressing the young man's hair that managed to come out of the helmet. "Brother, although I will be busy with school this week, I promise to play with you next week! Alright?"
The young man could neither move nor nod at her words. "Mhm... Yu Rou, I promise once I get better I'll protect you."
The girl stopped her caressing and simply smiled sadly. That sadness was then replaced with gratitude. "Un, then I will count on you, brother! Now, have fun in the game..."
After those words, she touched the button on the side of the helmet and waited a few moments before leaving the room and the young man behind, a happy smile playing on her lips.
...
It took only a few seconds after the button was pressed for the young man to appear in another location. His body in the "real" world simply fell into a state of sleep, while half of his soul was transported to this world and instantly given physical form.
"Hm, I can feel a connection to a faraway place. I suppose that's my other half? No, not other half—both of my souls have been regenerated to their peak. I can simply consider this new body a new 'me.'" The young man spoke, unamused.
«10:01»
«10:00»
«09:59»
"As long as this new me and the other one on Earth touch, there should be no problem combining into one again. I wonder, if I split my soul and let them regenerate before absorbing them once they become fully regenerated, would I double my soul strength? Possible." Yu Tian muttered as he stroked his chin, before flashing a cold smile in the empty and dark space.
Yu Tian spoke no further and made no movements, simply standing with his hands clasped behind him, staring with a knowing smirk at the space before him.
Time trickled by, and before long, an announcement in the form of a hologram appeared in his vision.
«Welcome to Cultivation Online!»
As the system's notice appeared, the dark space surrounding Yu Tian brightened to a pure white background. A crack in space appeared in front of him, resembling a shattered glass window.
As the crack grew larger to the size of an adult, it suddenly broke and revealed a vast and empty dark space behind it. Then, a beautiful woman with a graceful and elegant body slowly made her way out of the crack in space, seemingly like a goddess from another world.
Except, she was from another world, or better yet, another realm entirely.
The young man simply flashed a small smile of kindness, not uttering a single word. The space behind her slowly receded and closed, as if the world itself wanted to seal a loophole it didn't allow.
The "goddess" looked at his body from top to bottom with a cold and apathetic expression on her beautiful face. Yu Tian was sure that if anyone from his world saw her, they would try to court her.
More like they'd be courting death!
Despite his thoughts, his expression didn't change even a bit, remaining calm and serene. A small smile thinly covered his lips, giving off an unsettling yet kind appearance.
The goddess was dressed in traditional red and golden Chinese robes, her figure one that would make even the hearts of those who are gay churn with want and need. Her facial features were sharp and symmetrical, appearing peerless and one of a kind. However, despite her appearance, her gaze was anything but kind.
She stared at Yu Tian with her golden eyes that seemed to peer into him, yet not at the same time. Her aura radiated a tyrannical power that most others wouldn't be able to comprehend.
"Mortal, place your hand on this," she spoke with a cold voice, and the young man watched her take out a crystal ball from thin air.
Maintaining his expression, he gave a curt nod before walking up to the crystal ball. He placed his hand on it and saw words begin to appear inside the crystal.
Name: ????
Cultivation: None
Legacy: ????
Bloodline: ????, ????
Physique: ????, ????
Physical Strength: 200
Mental Strength: 800
Soul Strength: 4,200
Physical Defense: 200
Mental Defense: ????
The beauty's expression instantly contorted into shock upon seeing the man's information on the crystal ball, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Double Physique? Double Bloodline?!
Her hands trembled along with the crystal ball.
Not to mention his soul strength is at the rank of Spirit Warrior despite being a mortal with no cultivation!
Her gaze then went down as she noticed his mental defense, only to form a confused expression before shaking her head to clear her thoughts.
I must rope him in!
"What is your name?" she asked the young man with a serious expression, only to receive a cold look from him.
"My name is Fang Yuan... Gu Yue Fang Yuan."
